Page THE HERALD Wednesday June 12 Ratepayer groups objecting to town scheduled meetings By BEN DUMMETT The Herald An attempt by Halton Hills Planning Department to involve the public on deciding what shape the Town should take is starting off on shaky ground say representatives from several local ratepayer groups Gail Rutherford President of Residents Active in Development Decisions confirmed Monday she has sent a letter to Mayor Miller objecting to the Planning Department s scheduling of the first meeting of the Urban Area Study Steering Committee for this after noon at the Halton Hills Civic Centre In the letter Ms Rutherford writes We could not it when we were told that the first meeting was scheduled for day June 14 at 2 m in the after noon How on earth are members of the public

head tohead against his own party Monday during tion Period m Ottawa and he s hopeful the end result will be reduced taxes for his constituents as well as middleclass Cana dians across the country Citing earlier comments by the government that Canadians feel over taxes and the fact the Goods and Services Tax GST has so far generated million more than the government expected Mr Turner wanted to know if this extra money would result in lower taxes Since the government is col lecting so much more from the GST surely some Canadians can expect some relief in taxes said Mr Turner The government responded to Mr Turner s question by saying taxes will be lowered once the deficit is lowered Mr Turner said he was satisfied with this answer because the government s first priority must be to reduce the deficit The deficit is predicted to be 30 billion this year Next year it should be reduced to billion said Mr Turner Asked how low the deficit must be before taxes are decreased Mr Turner was vague He said the government still has two years left in its mandate to reduce taxes He went on to explain that the GST has turned out not to be revenue neutral because the government underestimated how much the underground economy would bubble to the surface due to the new tax GIC RATE Rate Subject To Change Without Notice MONEY CONCEPTS NOTICE OF LIBRARY CLOSURE Acton and Georgetown Branches of
